Theme Demo

I’m always being asked, “what does Kaya look like?” The answer is, what do you want it to look like?

There are a number of options to set up the styling you would like within the Customizer. There are a number of areas where you can add widgets, and a number of header layouts.

Kaya was specifically built for custom designs. So it doesn’t have much styling until you configure it. Most of the styling can be configured right in the customizer.

Customization & Compatibility

Kaya has been designed to allow you to decide how you want to build your pages. It includes options for displaying banners and call to actions on your pages and is designed to work with popular page builders including:

  • Gutenberg
  • Generate Blocks
  • Elementor
  • WP Bakery (I know, it’s not pleasant, but we’ve been supporting it for nearly a decade)

Kaya Is A Fast Theme

Kaya is a lightweight theme designed to be fast, with PageSpeed, YSlow, and GTmetrix all reporting a very fast site. If you decide to add slow plugins or you run Kaya on a slow web server, then you will not see the kind of results we do.

For example, the Kaya Demo site loads in under 1 second on GT Metrix.

Requirements For Kaya

Kaya requires at least PHP 7.4 and WordPress 5.5.

Do not attempt to install the theme on a site that does not meet these requirements.
